The Penny + Giles JC150 provides full control of the Atlas 2000ís platform through its processor control system. The functions include lowering and raising from 1metre to 5.5 metres and pitching and rolling fore and aft, and left and right.
Commenting on the choice of joystick, Phil Summers of AMSS says the decision was an easy one as the Atlas 2000ís predecessor, the Atlas Mk2 is fitted with a Penny + Giles JC600 joystick and both are still giving excellent service with airforces around the world.
